“Without great critics, you’ve had no great successes.” Ryan Clark
Today’s episode hits close to home, and is personal for us but also powerful. We always ask our guests what is their biggest Pivot, and now we are asking Ryan to share his after the past few days of things transpiring with the way they have.
On Monday July 20, 2026, Ryan was let go from ESPN while on air, mid show of NFL Live…from that moment on it’s been a rollercoaster of emotions, and events as the news began to travel around the sports world but Ryan has remained quiet as he’s processed the news and appreciated the outpour of support.
Fred and Channing sit with Ryan for a deeply personal conversation, the guys discuss what happened, if there were signs, how it TRULY went down and the aftermath of what it all means. Only how he can do, Ryan puts words to perspective from the past decade of work, specifically the past year, and sets the record straight on what really transpired with certain instances that other media continues to point out. With ESPN having the Super Bowl this season, the decision comes at an unusual time and shocking move to many…but did RC see it coming?
Doing what our platform does best, the guys create a space for the vulnerability of the situation, Ryan’s reflection, the emotional side, cultural impact and asks if Ryan has anything he wishes he would have done differently that may have changed the end result. Extremely personal discussion, that’s raw, authentic and true to who we are as men.
We appreciate you Pivot Family for rocking with us and for the unconditional support that allows our platform to be what it is today.

Ryan Bro. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. You gave sum of ur best wrk to mfrs who apparently didn’t appreciate it. Fck them. Get up with Cam Shay Shay or whoever and start sum better. THAT’S THE REASON BRO.
Not IF but WHEN will u make that HAPPEN? FUBU broooo!
My brother, hold your head high. Every single person who’s ever watched any of the ESPN shows that you were on knows that you are , have been, and probably always will be the best football analyst they’ve ever had. I haven’t watched that network since. Not on any boycott thing, just how I feel. The speech your mom gave you is the absolute truth for us.
I loved you doing your job…
God has even bigger plans for you Ryan🙌🏼 I can’t wait to hear your testimony down the road from this extremely hard situation in your journey. God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is a “ setback “ for a setup. This is an inflection point to more peace, power, freedom and greater impact .
Take this negative and turn it into a positive.take what you learn and build this show and others and make your own ESPN love you keep shining.
29:52 got me crying over hear Ryan! It’s the most horrible feeling to know you weren’t appreciated. But over here in the Pivot room, we appreciate you ❤
